Methodology and notes

Close to 300 firms were contacted for this year鈥檚 黑洞社区 Top Consultants Survey. They were sent a survey form asking for details on the number of chartered staff, non-chartered and technical staff, and domestic and worldwide fee incomes. Practices were also asked questions relating to: staff recruitment, wage patterns, margins, areas of work, and work expectations. 

All data in the tables are taken directly from firms鈥� replies. 

The survey does not claim to list all the top consultants, as it relies upon firms completing and returning the annual survey form. For a variety of reasons, firms sometimes decide not to take part. Only those firms completing and returning the survey form are included in the survey.  Firms having any questions about the survey, or wishing to be included in the 2020 survey, should contact Martin Hewes at Hewes & Associates: .
